Souls of Mischief Announce 50 City Still Infinity Tour w/ Live Band

It’s hard to believe that 20 years have passed since the Oakland, California based rap group Souls of Mischief, consisting of Tajai, Opio, Phesto, and A-Plus, released their debut album 93 ‘til Infinity. The album and title track is widely considered a benchmark in the history of hip-hop music and culture not only in the US but worldwide. To commemorate this anniversary, the four-man crew will release a remix of the single “93 ‘til Infinity” featuring an all-star roster of talent (names to be announced this summer.) In addition, they will act as brand ambassadors for a limited capsule collection with iconic fashion and lifestyle brand Ecko, which also turns twenty this year. The celebration will culminate in a nationwide tour where Souls of Mischief will perform classic songs as well as new material with a live band.
Speaking on the evolution of hip-hop that has occurred since Souls of Mischief began their storied career, Hieroglyphics member Pep Love commented, “Hip-hop culture and music were destined to become pop culture from [the] beginning. Misrepresentation and exploitation are the only real problems. Hip-hop is socially conscious at its very core and its very essence. I believe that Hieroglyphics truly represents hip hop and going forward we will help to spark a resurgence and bring the true representation to the masses.”
With their constant touring, album releases, brand merchandising, infamous block parties, song placement in movie soundtracks and snowboard documentaries, and more, Souls of Mischief continue to remain a relevant, creative and inspirational force in music.
Get your plate, knife, fork and spoon ready for The Kitchen; in stores and available for digital download July 16th.
Hieroglyphics has been simmering for days upon days with the scent of sonic sustenance emanating from that place where hip hop warms the heart and stimulates the mind. The Kitchen. The Kitchen lp is an ALBUM that brings the ingredients of archival audio, new music and collaboration between turntablism, beat chopping and lyricism together to form an original authentic entree for your ears to devour and digest.
For this special project Hiero has enlisted the skills and support of Sacramento, Ca based DJ and beat chopping crew The Sleeprockers. They bring the skills of master chefs dealing with quality ingredients to create a concoction of seamless yet eclectic flavors for the rare hip hop palate. In the process, The Kitchen has come to embody a space for experimental collaboration that knows no limits or boundaries while maintaining a sense of respect for the tradition that these recipes come from. Hieroglyphics and The Sleeprockers are cooking in The Kitchen. This should be encouraging to the hungry hip hop and Hieroglyphics fan because the time to eat is coming soon. So get your plate, knife, fork and spoon ready for The Kitchen; in stores and available for digital download July 16th.

Cut to a laid back sunny southern California day. Take a walk down the street to the record store. Kick a verse alongside arts district murals. Give a pound to the homies. Dig through some crates. Feel the breeze. That's pretty much the recipe for Trek Life's opening visuals for the Duke Westlake produced lead single "Just The Music." Nothing left to do but relax and enjoy the music.

I got started rhyming heavily when I was 13 years old. At the time my Uncle was managing a singer named JoJo. I reached out to my Uncle to hear me rap, and he told me I sucked. From then on, I kept rhyming and now here we are in 2013.
A 22 year-old rhymer hailing from Edmonton, Canada, Jo Thrillz first made noise with the release of his mixtape “The Gooniest” in late 2011. Since then, Jo has been building a growing buzz with the release of eye-catching music videos (some of which are approaching 100K views), his second mixtape “Just Another Weekend,” and many full-throttle, energy-packed performances.
